    Had the agent come round today said he would get a tennant more or less straight away, but told me before he markets the house, we need to find somewhere to move asap.

    got landlords insurance and buildings insurance from simple
    rent gaurantee from ensleigh
    homcare from british gas with service and certificate yearly
    got epc

    got agent who said they would join us up to the landlords association, just need to find somwehere to move to, is there anything i have missed??

    Maybe start a folder with useful information for tenants? Things like how to work the boiler, where the stopcock is, telephone number of the local window cleaner etc.

    Hopefully it will mean that the tenants don't have to contact you or the agency for simple stuff.

    If you have instruction manuals for appliances, then photocopy them - don't leave the originals in the house. Some tenants might lose the originals.
